The brief

What we were up against.

Seasonal catalog turnover meant content production was constantly behind the product calendar.

Key insight

Speed came from saying no to set changes.

Locking lights and angles meant a product could move from box to finished image in minutes. Creativity went into props and styling instead.

The outcome

Cut content production time enough to keep pace with the seasonal catalog instead of trailing it.

We treated the studio like a production line and the styling like a playground. That split is the whole system.
